Federal government facing lawsuits over Emergencies Act

The federal government will have to defend its use of the Emergencies Act in court after two civil-liberties groups asserted in legal challenges that invoking the act against anti-mandate protesters was unlawful. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced on Wednesday that his government will file its own court challenge.

In separate court actions, the Canadian Constitution Foundation and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) are asking for a hearing in Federal Court. Both say they will continue their challenges despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement on Wednesday that the government is ending its declaration of an emergency.

Provincial health officials reported 41 more virus-related deaths on Thursday and under 1,100 patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

The Ministry of Health says the deaths reported today occurred over the past 30 days, including three deaths on Feb. 22 and six on Feb. 21.


Reinfections from Omicron subvariant BA.2 seem rare, study finds, making ‘new wave’ unlikely

Getting infected more than once by subvariants in the Omicron family does seem possible, but appears rare, scientists in Denmark found in a recent real-world study — offering reassurance that countries won’t experience another sudden surge of infections.

The early research, which was published online as a preprint on Tuesday and has not yet been peer-reviewed, involved an analysis of recent SARS-CoV-2 infections by a team from the Statens Serum Institut (SSI), a top Danish public health institute.

Poll Shows A Majority Of U.S. Democrats Have No Problem With Trudeau’s Actions Against Freedom Convoy, Including Freezing Bank Accounts

Yeah, 2/3 of the majority party in the United States thinks it’s totally cool that Justin Castro – I mean Trudeau- is freezing the bank accounts of people donating to the convoy, using police to crack down on protesters, and using emergency powers to exercise authoritarian action against the protestors.

Authoritarianism, Media Propaganda & Repression in Canada

In Canada last week, Trudeau set a historic precedent by declaring a National Emergency on dubious grounds. This act has existed for 34 years without once being invoked, and now the Trudeau government is wielding it as a cudgel against one of the most organized displays of civil disobedience in Canadian history.

The Extraordinary Story of How Governments Suppressed Effective COVID Treatments and Targeted Physicians Who Prescribed Them

Public health authorities knew about chloroquine and other treatments for COVID-19 before there was a COVID-19 — because they had figured it out for the 2003 SARS epidemic and the 2012 MERS epidemic. But they hushed it up.

Trudeau-Style Tyranny Is Already Here

The end is nigh.

As freedom-lovers justifiably recoil at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s crackdown, Americans worry it could happen here. They’re too late. It already has.

In a recent court motion, Joe Biden’s Justice Department changed the official name of its investigation into the protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Originally designated the “Capitol breach” probe, the department just replaced “breach” with a more sinister word: siege.

Joy, gratitude, and hope for the sleeping Canadian giant

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve,” says the character of the Japanese admiral Isoroku about Pearl Harbor in the WWII film Tora! Tora! Tora!  The Japanese may have successfully attacked the U.S., but that was a battle, not the war, and that day was the beginning of the end for the Japanese race to global power.

There is a parallel situation unfolding with the Canadian government and the truckers.  To be clear, I’m not saying there’s going to be a war, insurrection, or violence, but I am saying that the response of the Canadian government to the peaceful protests against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will ultimately be its undoing and absent complete voter suppression and fraud, the current tyrannical regime won’t last.

Telegraph: ‘Behind closed doors,’ lab leak is considered most likely origin of COVID

This report from the Telegraph is not based on an official statement about the origin of COVID. In fact, it’s really just the observation of one person about what is going on within the UK government. The backstory here is that the government has asked for input on a new “biosecurity strategy” that is still in the draft stage. Hamish de-Bretton Gordon is a biosecurity expert who has provided information for that new strategy. He believes a lab leak is the most likely explanation for COVID’s origin and claims, behind the scenes, other officials are coming around to his view even if they’re still hesitant to say so publicly.

Justin Trudeau Goes Full Fidel

His response to the truckers’ convoy suggests he’s been taking lessons from someone down in Cuba.

It took a spurt of totalitarianism, ejaculated north of the border, to confirm what many of us already knew: Justin Trudeau is truly his father’s son.

This humble reporter is far from alone in observing that Trudeau is really Fidel Castro’s long, lost lovechild. It didn’t take two hours of guzzling Labatt beer with a bunch of fat Canadians with hats with earflaps and earmuffs watching hockey to figure that out.

Besides, I hate hockey. What the hell is hockey, anyway? Hockey has some rule called “icing,” which makes no sense whatsoever.

Covid has created a capitalist nightmare

Big Tech and Big Pharma are more powerful than ever

Over the past two years, as the pandemic claimed the lives of millions of people and upturned the lives of everyone else, a silent revolution was taking place. Western capitalism suddenly found itself usurped; replaced by an even more oligarchic and authoritarian capitalist mode of power — what we might call neo-feudalism. Even as restrictions are lifted in the UK and other countries, the consequences of these changes will be felt for a long time to come.

Kelly McParland: The Liberals cheer Justin Trudeau. The world thinks he blew it

In the view of Gerald Butts, some sort of weird virus must have infected the editorial boards of some of the world’s most respected newspapers, preventing them from understanding the unique circumstances that prompted Canada’s prime minister to invoke emergency powers.

In a series of tweets assessing the decision, Butts — former principal secretary to Justin Trudeau — started off with a slap at several editorials that denounced the decision as unnecessary and dangerous.

More evidence Covid made in a lab? Scientists find virus contains DNA that matches sequence patented by Moderna 3 yrs before pandemic began

Fresh suspicion that Covid may have been tinkered with in a lab emerged today after scientists found genetic material owned by Moderna in the virus’s spike protein.

They identified a tiny snippet of code that is identical to part of a gene patented by the vaccine maker three years before the pandemic.

It was discovered in SARS-CoV-2’s unique furin cleavage site, the part that makes it so good at infecting people and separates it from other coronaviruses.

The structure has been one of the focal points of debate about the virus’s origin, with some scientists claiming it could not have been acquired naturally.

Is Canada Becoming North America’s Cuba?

There does remain one major difference between Canada and Cuba. Few Cubans support their Marxist leaders, but most Canadians support theirs. They don’t know what they’re in for.

Canada is leaving the Western world.

In terms of all-encompassing government, suppression of dissent and the denial of fundamental human rights to many of its citizens, Canada is now more similar to Cuba than to any free country. Canada may eventually return to Western civilization, but right now, the majority of Canadians appear to have no interest in it doing so. According to Maru Public Opinion, “two-thirds (66 percent) of Canadians support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bringing in the Emergencies Act . . . A majority (56 percent) of Canadians do not support the truckers who are protesting in any way, shape, or form . . . This is a majority view held in every province/region across the country.”

Ontario police forces investigate after possible member donations to convoy protests

Two Ontario police forces have launched internal investigations or reviews, saying some of their members appear to have donated to the convoy that blockaded Ottawa and other border crossings.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said it is starting an internal investigation, while the Toronto Police Service said it has referred two of three names to its professional standards unit.

“The matter has been brought to the attention of OPP Command, and the OPP Professional Standards Unit has launched an internal conduct investigation into this matter,” wrote OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson in a statement.
